Expert Answers about Subaru Crosstrek


  • Are There any Locking Knobs for the MaxxTow Basket # MT70115?
  • I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, there are not any locking knobs that work with the MaxxTow Roof Mounted Cargo Basket model 70115. However, a great way to include security to your basket is by purchasing the Saris Cable Lock - 8' Long # SA981. With the Saris cable lock, you will be able to wrap the cable around your crossbars and your rails on your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. This way, it will add an extra layer of security to deter the theft of your basket.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with Manual Transmission
  • To get your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek set up for flat towing I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-52927-5 because I think it has a slightly easier installation than some others. Then the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR paired with the Replacement Base Pins # RM-910029 to attach to the base plate. The etrailer tow bar will come with the needed safety chains. I prefer the installed braking systems because you wont have to mess with moving the system in and out...

  • Thank you for all of the information! Essentially you can use almost any drawbar that has a 1-1/4" shank for your application but Draw-Tite does recommend using the Drawbar # 36051 for the Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36644 on your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek.

  • Parts to Flat Tow a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with a Manual Transmission
  • I wasn't able to find anything that said the manual transmission model cannot be flat towed. With that being said it's not up to me, it's up to Subaru. And I can't recommend you going against what they're telling you. There very well could be other factors that prevent the car from being flat towed other than the transmission. I can't recall the exact model/year but there are some Subarus that cannot be flat towed because the front bumper is rated or towing. Not sure if this is the...

  • After installing The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36644 onto your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, the hitch has a tongue weight of 350 pounds. You're only as strong as your weakest component, so you would need to check your vehicle's manual to find the proper tongue weight recommendation for your vehicle.

  • The Replacement Lower Rubber Cover Strip for Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH79VW is the correct part you would need for your Thule roof rack on your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek.

You will not have to trim it. I attached a review video link below.

  • Recommended 7 Way for 2020 Subaru Crosstrek for Use with Curt Echo Brake Controller
  • With a 4 way flat already installed on your 2020 Subaru Crosstrek, you're well on your way and installing a 7 way is relatively easy. Since you're wanting to use the Curt Echo # C51180, I recommend using the # ETBC7L, which doesn't require a connection to a brake controller wire inside the vehicle's cabin.
